Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 pound red new potatoes, halved or quartered if large
3/4 pound carrots, cut into 2-inch lengths, halved lengthwise if large
8 shallots, peeled and halved through the root ends
1 head garlic, halved horizontally
1 bunch fresh thyme
3 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 small onions, halved
1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), giblets discarded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks set in middle and lower thirds. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes, carrots, shallots, garlic, and a few sprigs of thyme with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In an ovenproof skillet, toss onions with remaining tablespoon oil. Place chicken, breast side up, on top of onions. Season cavity and exterior of chicken with salt and pepper; stuff with a few sprigs of thyme. Scatter remaining thyme over chicken and onions. Using kitchen twine, tie legs together; tuck wing tips under bird.
  • Roast chicken on middle rack and vegetables on lower rack, occasionally brushing chicken with pan juices and tossing vegetables, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of a thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Let chicken rest 10 minutes; carve, and serve with vegetables and pan juices.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the vegetables were delicious. I would recommend using a different chicken cooking method or brining the chicken before roasting it.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. However, the chicken was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were roasted nicely. With a few adjustments, I think this could be a great recipe.
